Sure thing! In blackjack the odds depend a lot on the dealer’s up‑card and the number of decks you’re playing with. The basic strategy table is based on expected values for every possible hand versus the dealer’s card. If you want to test a strategy, just set up a quick simulation: 1. Create a function that builds a shoe of the required number of decks and shuffles it. 2. Write a routine to deal two cards to the player and the dealer, then let the player hit or stand according to the strategy you’re testing. 3. Let the dealer play out their hand following the standard rule (hit until 17 or higher). 4. Compare the hands and tally wins, losses and pushes. 5. Run that loop many times—say 100,000 hands—to get a stable estimate of the expected return for that strategy. You can use simple arrays for the cards, a random shuffle for the deck, and a loop to repeat the play. Once you have the framework, swap in different decision rules and watch the results change. It’s a great way to see how small tweaks can affect your edge. Happy coding!

Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind. A good shuffle is the base, and splitting right can make a difference if you know when to do it. Good luck with the simulation—let me know if you hit any bumps.

Thanks, I’ll keep the shuffle tight and the odds in focus. If the code starts looking wild, I’ll definitely drop you a line. Appreciate the good luck!
